Good conversation today regarding permethrin. I worked with my assistant to learn a bit more.

Permethrin forces the insect’s neural circuits into a perpetual state of overdrive, effectively frying their nervous system until it collapses in paralysis and death.

Also, does this to cats and fish. In fact, permethrin affects sodium channels in the nervous system of all animals. However, humans et al have enzymes that rapidly break down permethrin to avoid a nervous meltdown. 

Yes, it is inspired by nature. Permethrin is a synthetic chemical, but it’s modeled after natural compounds called pyrethrins, which are found in chrysanthemum flowers. However, the chemists increased its resiliency, potency, and slowed its UV degradation to concoct the lethal miracle we call permethrin.
